Go broke, go woke

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went on a date with my new boyfriend. When the check came, he asked, "Do you accept food stamps?" When the waiter said no, he checked in his wallet and said, "Well all I have is five dollars." I ended up picking up the $20 tab. FML

Oh shit, you payed for a tab, and an expensive one at that! This begs for a chivalry/equality debate, no?

I don't think ANY restaurant takes food stamps...if they did, the boys and I would be able to eat like kings more often!~

a real man always pays for the meal especially on a date! it's disrespectful to make the gal pay

Men are not what they used to be...Once, I went on a date with my boyfriend and while we were eating he told me "by the way, I've forgotten my wallet..." and another time, we went to the cinema . The ticket cost 9€ and I couldn't pay with my credit card under 13€, so my boyfriend told me "ok so buy me my ticket too and I'll pay off you!" guess who never did...

Oh no. Never go on a date with him again. That is just uncivilized. FYL.

I'm a girl and 100% agree with you :) OP is probably one that is stuck with old traditions, where boys should pay and do eveything :S

if he paid $5 then all you had to pay is $15... That doesn't sound like very much to me. And pft, should have decided about paying before hand... Plus just dump him if it bothers you.

Btw, just to clarify i put FYL, because it does such it was so inconsiderate.. I still think it sucks but it's not the end of the world.

Dump Mr No Money. It will start off with not paying for dates, eat all your food in your house, then he will want to borrow your car (without filling it back up with gas when he's done), move in with you but not pay rent. He Sounds like a mooch.
